“Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.” Kurt Vonnegut.
"Five great enemies of peace inhabit with us - avarice, ambition, envy, anger, and pride;
if these were to be banished,
we should infallibly enjoy perpetual peace."
Francesco Petrarca.

Now and then i post a german video-clip that tells an interesting story about our country.
Well, this is a very special one.

And learns a lesson for life. ;D
As for the lyrics. They are an invitation to very different people and groups to unite and form an anti-nazi federation.

There are two kinds of pride, both good and bad. 'Good pride' represents our dignity and self-respect. 'Bad pride' is the deadly sin of superiority that reeks of conceit and arrogance.
John C. Maxwell
What is pride? A rocket that emulates the stars.
William Wordsworth
We live in a time of conflict - external and internal - when we sometimes concentrate too much on what divides us. Today, fly the Stars and Stripes with pride and confidence that what unites is far stronger.
Charlie Dent
It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.
Saint Augustine
